Here are some pics of some pakis I recently got. They have grown well and have chubbered up nicely.

I bought these because I saw an oddly marked one and asked the guy in the shop to catch it for me. Thanks to him!

It looks a bit like a rostrata but has almorhae colours so I am not so sure.

"Ross" features in the first few photos. I included some of the others for comparison.

Opinions welcolme.

Nice fish, definetly a very varied species in terms of their patterning goes.

Kind of reminds me of B. rostrata

I would agree with Mark, Botia almorhae.

Hi Graeme, These came from Smiths Aquarium located at Boondall on the Northside. This shop speciallises in Cichlids and has really healthy stock.

Most places get Almorhae but I havnt seen many lately. Especially bulk amounts of juveniles.
